Two posts in as many days, and based on my track record recently I'm as surprised as the next person. However, thanks to a new (well very old but new to me) computer and a very shiny new iPhone I now have the correct equipment to be able to update my blog! And this particular post is dedicated to a little project I have been working on - A Retro Toy A Day...

A Retro Toy A Day

This project looks at some of our favourite retro toys, from their beginnings to their successes, and due to my inability to sit in front of the TV without something to do it is accompanied by my rough doodles, and notes. So here are the first six toys... And if there are any you would like to see just leave a comment and I will draw it for next week!

#1 retro toy of the day... and to kick this project off one of the oldest toys around, building blocks.

#2 retro toy of the day... the Space Hopper, probably one of the most iconic toys around, and good exercise too!

#3 retro toy of the day... Playmobil play people. With so many of them you can build whole communities... kind of like the original Sims, so it’s no wonder they are still a popular toy!

#4 retro toy of the day... and one of my favorites... (a dodgy drawing but you get the idea) troll dolls!

#5 retro toy of the day... and one that is so well known it almost gets overlooked; LEGO. The simple ideas are always the best, as LEGO's longevity proves!

#6 retro toy of the day… the Gameboy and that iconic game Tetris which is still popular today despite the many more advanced computer games around!

Hope you enjoyed the first six and let me know if you have a favorite you'd like to see on here next week.
